We had to install and tape the cement board. That was fairly easy. Measure and cut with a utility knife, tape, and screw on.

We arranged the tile on the floor to plan the pattern. I lined up the pattern with the bead-board plank wall.

We started in the corner because of the window.

We rented a wet-saw from Home Depot, but we waited until we had to make the cuts, so we only had to rent it for one day. The saw worked well, but not on small cuts; tiles shattered. So we then purchase da ten dollar tile cutter for the smallest pieces.

Tip 1!!!! The mastix has to be white when one installs glass tile otherwise its true color won't show.

Tip 2!!! A big sponge and a large bucket is great for washing off the grout.

Once the grout has dried for a couple of days, seal it. The water will bead on the tile and it will stay nice for a long time! Reseal every six months or when you notice that the water is no longer beading.

they use in barbershops to keep the combs sanitized). My plunger is 100% hard rubber, so I need something that won't eat away at it. Right now, I just use a small bathroom trash can. It's great for keeping the floor dry, but the ick-factor is up there. I also have cats, so I'd prefer something that is pet-friendly (their litter box is in the bathroom). Thanks!
